Mr. Attainable

You're the picture of humility 
and self-proclaimed righteousness 
We love-starved lovers can't help but fall into your stare
Even when it starts to resemble a snare
We cocoon ourselves into your web
That once felt like a safety net
I don't think you even know you're doing it 
Your venom is sweetness 
Your poison disguised as treatment 
for another ailment 
Your love is different from the others
It doesn't run out, it smothers 
I become a mould of your worst insecurities
You are low-hanging fruit 
from an empty tree.
